What's on your menu today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?

Hi you guys! Happy Friday (my favorite day of the week)!
I am trying to stay positive about having to move. I've been experiencing a lot of anxiety about this, though I'm continuing to move forward with what must be done. Nevertheless, there is lots of worry and anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. In another, earlier life I would have taken refuge in the refrigerator. I have (pretty much, though not entirely) managed to resist impulse shopping as a means of anxiety control; I need to save now, not splurge.
One thing which has been helping calm me is an old, marvelous anthology of poems for children, All the Silver Pennies. This is a long out-of-print combination of two previous volumes, Silver Pennies (1925), and More Silver Pennies (I believe 1937). The poems are very beautiful, very sensitive and evocative, and full of charm. I am finding them to be very calming. They remind me of what is true and right and good in the world, and I emerge, after having read a few poems, in happier spirits. Pretty great medicine!
QOTD: I have yo-yo'd with my weight between obesity and slenderness many times, each time striving to forget that, or to pretend that I had ever been fat. I truly get that that mindset has in the past ushered in behaviors which led me right back up the scale. I will not try to avoid being aware of my amply demonstrated propensity for obesity ever again. I want to always remain mindful that for me, obesity will always be lurking, waiting to sidle in; a lifelong, recurrent threat - but one which can be well managed, with enough ongoing resolve. From now on, I'd rather be scared than complacent. Anyway, I anticipate I'll be here, with my long-winded posts, sharing my life and sharing yours.
First: Tea with cashew milk, Cinnamon Buns protein drink
B: Turkey
L: Ham and Cheddar
D: Roast Beef, refried beans, a little SF BBQ sauce

Wishing everyone a happy day!
